Heidi Klum’s son Henry Samuel is following in her fashionable footsteps!
After making his runway debut at Paris Fashion Week back in January, Henry, 19, can now add cover star to his résumé as he is on the front of the latest issue of Hunger magazine. And one person who couldn’t be prouder is his model mom.
“So proud of you, my beautiful Henry!” the 51-year-old captioned an Instagram post on Monday, March 17, in which she shared the striking image of Henry, taken by celebrity photographer, Rankin.
“Your first cover for @hungermagazine — what an incredible milestone,” Klum continued. “Watching you grow into the amazing young man you are today fills my heart with so much joy. The world is just beginning to see what I’ve always known—you are destined for greatness! ❤️✨ I love you @henrysamle.”
